Solution

The correct option is A Crotalaria juncea
Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) is one of the earliest and most distinctly named fibers of India. It has great potential as an annually renewable, multi-purpose fiber crop. It is the most important species of the Crotalaria genus, which is comprised of over 350 species located in the tropics and subtropics of both hemisphere.
Crotalaria juncea is generally considered to have originated in India; Most of the present-day sunn hemp production is located in India, Bangladesh and Brazil, where it has been cultivated since prehistoric times. It is grown as a green manure crop, a fodder crop, or for the bast fibers. Thus, option A is correct.
